Support your library

You are an integral part of our library system. The simplest and most direct way to show your support is to visit the library and use our services. Increasing usage and circulation rates establishes a clear pattern and sends a strong signal to community leaders about the importance of our library system and the value it brings to Spokane.

Please direct all monetary donations to the Spokane Public Library Foundation.

There are donation boxes at the check-out desks in all the libraries for cash donations. Checks should be made payable to the SPL Foundation. The Foundation invests all donations in an endowment for long-term benefit to the library.

Contact the Mayor and City Council

The Spokane Public Library is a general fund department.

Our budget is part of the city’s general fund and is set by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. When you let the Mayor and City Council members know how important the library is to you it helps support our budget.
